    Unfortunately in America the entire country wants to take everyone else to court.

    Anyway, keep posting the pics, I love them.

    And you are 100% on the money with no excuse to take more photos. The funny thing is I always have the camera with me but I don't actually take many photos. I will make an effort to snap more photos, thanks for the inspiration.

    This was Glen Millers first boat the Emerald out of Santa Barbra California! On this boat I stepped of the back at Santa Cruz Island to become a Diver!

    Ace, it was said that they found TCP in his system! So although I doubt he was doing it and flying it was in his system!

    We were young, oh so young, and we took on the underwater world without Computers, Backup Regulators, or even Air Gages! We went with unbalanced first stages and breathed the tank until it got hard to breath and then you headed up! It is so funny to listen to debts about bringing back 500psi to the boat! On a single 72cubic foot tank you got 45 to 55 minutes as long as you could suck those last couple breaths! Your dive plan was finish your dive shallow!

    We went for the bounty of the sea! We hunted for the biggest and the limit was always expected! It was all there for the taking and we did! We were young and we eat well and so did our buddies and our families!

    A 80lb Halibut was not uncommon in the sand at 100ft! Hit it with your spear gun and hold on as it headed for deep water like a run-a-way kit in a hurricane! You held on to your gun and kicked for the surface as hard as you could! It was great eating and we had a rule that you always split your catch with your buddy! Witch set of steaks they got was a hole different story!

    Santa Cruz Island maybe the best all around diving in Southern California! It is pristine and wild.... It is the where you can see a Mako and a Great White on the same day! The Sea Lions are plentiful and friendly and the bottom can be a carpet of Starfish! This place even on the old Emerald hooked me on diving!
